"We wille back tomorrow, then. If you still like it tomorrow, we will buy it." La wanted to take Ivy to a few more stores so that she would have the best dress.


    Ivy nodded, before changing back to her own clothes.


    The two exited the store and La took Ivy to a barbeque restaurant.


    "I don''t think you''ve had a barbeque since you came home, have you?" La giggled. "Our parents really value their health in recent years, but Dad never quite liked barbeque. He thinks that it''s not nutritious and unsanitary. He has always preferred iner food, and Mom is slightly better. She could take spicy food from time to time."


    Ivy had been spending most time with her parents and all meals she had taken were bnced meals and she was content with it, as even nutritious meals could be delicious. However, the moment she heard the word ''barbeque'', her mouth started salivating.


    "What about Hayden?" Ivy asked.


    "Hayden is just like Dad. The two of them were nemeses and Hayden hated Dad for a really long time, only to end up bing the exact replica of Dad. They even have the same taste for food," La mocked. "Robert and I are normalpared to them so we always sneak out for barbeques."


    Amused, Ivy asked, "should we call Robert along, then?"


    "Just the two of us." La nced through the menu and asked, "do you want ice-cream? The ice-cream here is great, too!"


    Ivy nodded without hesitation. "Won''t you get a stomach-ache from eating barbeque and ice-cream at the same time?"


    "I''ve done so multiple times and I''ve been fine! Maybe I just have a strong stomach. You can wait for a bit after you finish your foodter before having the ice-cream." "Sure."N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    After ordering, La pointed at the scenery outside the window. "Look at that building with a globe on top..."


    Ivy stared into the distance and spotted the building.


    "That''s Tate Industries," La said. "It was found by our grandfather. He was a really talented man, but also a yer. When our grandmother was pregnant with Mom, he cheated on her. Fortunately, he left thepany to Mom in his will before passing away."


    Ivy listened attentively.


    "Ms. Tate!" Someone came over to their table. "It really is you. I thought I had the wrong person!"


    It was an employee of Tate Industries.


    La turned to look at the group behind the man and asked, "why are you having dinner at this time?"


    "We just got off work." The man scratched his head, his eyes darting between Ivy and La. "Ms. Tate, we don''t disturb you and your friend."


    La hummed in response and once the group of people left, she called for the waiter and said, "I''ll pay for that tableter."


    The waiter noted her request and left.


    "La, do you know them?"


    La shook her head. "There are too


    many employees in thepany,


    but I remember that they al from


    the Research and Development Department. They work overtime all the time. I don''t encourage that, but I can''t stop them from doing it either."


    Ivy nodded.


    "I n on buying an apartment around this area." La changed the subject. "After we go shopping for dresses tomorrow,e with me for apartment hunting."


    "Sure! Do we need to tell Mom and Dad?"


    "I''ll tell them after I buy the apartment, so that they can''t stop me."
